Extron IR Link

The Extron IR Link is a compact, infrared (IR) extender that allows you to control AV devices from up to 100 feet away. It's perfect for use in home theater systems, conference rooms, and other applications where you need to control devices that are out of reach.

The IR Link uses a modulated carrier frequency to transmit IR signals through the air. This makes it immune to interference from other IR devices, such as remote controls and fluorescent lights. The IR Link also features a built-in amplifier that boosts the IR signal, ensuring that it will reach your devices even if they are in a different room.

Determine the Installation Location

The mounting brackets do not require attachment to wall studs, so they can be

placed almost anywhere on a wall. When you determine where to install the

device and mounting bracket, consider cable placement and access. You may need

to install the cables before installing the bracket.

Prepare the Installation Site

1. Photocopy the appropriate full size rough-in template from one of the

following pages. Cut out the center portion of the template up to the dashed

guidelines.

2. Place the template copy in the desired orientation and location on the

installation surface (wall). Use a soft pencil to mark the guidelines for the

opening on the installation surface.

3. Use a jigsaw or small hand saw to carefully cut away the material within the

guidelines.

4. Check the opening size by laying the mounting bracket against the opening.

The flat portion should lay snugly on the wall, and the tabs through which the

screws will be inserted should fit easily into the opening. There should not be

noticeable play within the opening.

5. If needed, use a saw, file or sandpaper to enlarge the hole. Smooth the edges

of the opening to avoid damage or injury to yourself or the cables during

installation.

Install the Mounting Bracket

Fastening the bracket with backing clips

1. Place 1¼” (3.18 cm) long or ¾“ (1.90 cm), #6-32 thread machine screws

(provided) through the holes in each corner of the mounting bracket. Use the

shortest possible screw needed.

Loosely fasten (using 2-3 turns) a mounting backing clip on the end of each

screw.

2. Insert the mounting bracket into the opening in the wall.

3. Rotate each clip so the tab will be behind the plywood, wallboard/sheet rock

or other surface to hold the bracket snugly in place when the screw is

tightened. See Detail A and Detail B.

Fastening the bracket with wood or sheet metal screws

Use this installation method if the installation surface is a sturdy, dense material

such as sheet metal, plywood, or hard wood.

1. Insert the mounting bracket into the opening in the wall and hold it firmly in

place.

2. Mark the locations of the outermost/corner bracket holes on the installation

surface.

3. If desired, remove the mounting bracket and drill ¼” deep pilot holes (half the

width of the shaft of the screw) at the marked locations.

4. Insert the bracket back into the hole.

5. Use four ½” (1.3 cm) long, #6 flat headed wood screws (provided) or self-

tapping sheet metal screws to fasten the bracket directly onto wood or metal,

respectively. Hand tighten the screws. See the illustration below.
